PORT TARANAKI LTD.

The white Westgate flag, photographed in 1994, was roughly 1:2. Its hoist panel was teal or dull green, with narrow black rings and a red cross with half-arrowheads on the left side only. The rings thickened unevenly towards the fly, suggesting the Taranaki coastline against the lighter sea; the cross represented compass points. The fly bore the black name Westgate. The funnel follows Rupe at New Plymouth on 19 April 2003.

The new flag combines the identifying name with a Mount Egmont/Taranaki graphic. Approved logo colours are PMS 1795 red and black, with Port at 45% black and the west gate at 60% black. Photographs outside the port building in January and February 2010 confirmed the flag. Its head was wrapped round the pole: Rosanoski estimated about 2.5:1, while his later account describes the proportions as unchanged from Westgate’s. The funnel follows Tuakana on 3 May 2009.
